Murdoch Stafford is an Australian Artist, Tattooist and Illustrator

Born from the world of the underground Australian music scene, his extraordinarily detailed, stippled, black and white illustrations, informed by heavy metal and punk iconography have become synonymous with some of Australia's most popular acts.

Creating standalone drawings, prints and merch, Stafford's graphic and propulsive style is also informed by the high-impact stylistic work of comic books, movie posters & paperback Sci-fi art.

Although his work began in music, it has evolved over the last few years into something more. His fascination with contrast and details has turned his once patently black and white works into fiery compositions that effortlessly transition between the worlds of high and low art.

Ranging from internationally adored hardcore punk bands, corporate & creative clients, Stafford's bold aesthetic, attention to detail and professional integrity has been highly regarded for many years by his long-term clientele.
